Tuesday SOLSC - 9/2/13 - Just One Little Lightening Bug

Just one little lightening bug
Arrived in our bedroom
Unknown to us
The lights were out
The eyelids were growing heavy
And then a BRIGHT flash
Just over our heads
Then darkness - we didn't say anything
thinking the other hadn't seen it
Until...
Another BRIGHT flash on the other side of the room
Hubby says, "Did you see that?"
And I replied, "You mean that BRIGHT flash?"
Once again darkness
Then it blinked a third time
We both got up, turned on the lights
Searched the ceiling for this minute little creature
that created such a BRIGHT light in the darkness.
Got him and back to bed we went.
How can just one little lightening bug create
such a BRIGHT light in the darkness?

    Too funny! It is amazing how much light it can produce, especially when the room is dark, it seems magnified. I wonder what that little bug thought of his surroundings. It must have wondered where was everyone?

    Love this moment you captured. Quite a surprise for you and Dad and that little bug! I wonder how the story goes when you searched for him and tried to catch him. Was it as easy as you made it seem? :)

    I'm pondering your question at the end...I think that sometimes we all think we can't do something or make a difference, but we can. Just think what that lightening bug was capable of doing.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
